Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 25 November 2019. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy and the tenant did not dispute or provide evidence disputing the landlord’s claim.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided photographic evidence that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish.
The tenant responsibly accepted that the property was not left reasonably clean and tidy.
The landlord’s claim for the cleaning and removal of rubbish is fair and reasonable based on invoices which the Tribunal sees for similar work.
The landlord did not provide a receipt for the hire of a skip bin and withdrew his claim for its hire at the hearing. In the absence of a receipt, the Tribunal would have dismissed this claim.
